ABOUT ME
Hi ! My name is ​Ibiyinka (Ibi) Ibru, and I'm a Certified Financial Education Instructor and the founder of Moneystart.
​
Here's my official page on the Financial Educators Council.
​
I started this business because a major life event in 2018 made me realise I had absolutely nothing to show for the last 4 years I had been working. I had two degrees from internationally renowned universities and a good job in a good industry but no savings, no investments and was still pretty much living hand to mouth hoping to make it till my next paycheck.
I had thought my finances would eventually just come together, but after 4 years of still not having my financial life in order, I decided to get really intentional about it.
​
The only problem was, even though I really really wanted to do this, I couldn’t figure out how, where to start, and if it could even be possible for me.
​
After making what felt like an endless amount of mistakes, I finally found a strategy that worked (which has informed the majority of my offering).
​
What surprised me was how many other people were in the same position I was, struggling in silence because they felt ‘behind’ and like everyone else had it figured out.
I started this business because I wanted to blow away the shame, fear and anxiety a lot of Millenials and Gen-Z’s have around money and also help people break out of being ‘stuck’ and move into having the financial health they always wanted for themselves.
I have a BSc in Neuroscience from King's College London and an MSc in Management from Imperial College Business School London and have over 8 years of experience working at international financial services and financial technology companies.
I spend my free time reading, going to the beach, hanging out with my husband, chasing my kids around and looking for new TV shows to watch (I’m open to recommendations!).
